you prob spend almost as much time tracking woke hollywood as it would be to watch one woke hollywood movie a week.

sad when people spend more time hating on something than those enjoying it lol.

i used to spend a lot of time in /r/freefolk when game of thrones went downhill. then realized tracking and hating something was a waste of time. people shit on the new show and shit on LOTR show i'll just watch and move on if it goes bad.

TBH I don't track hollywood at all and I hardly watch movies anymore thanks to this woke garbage.

10/10 LMFAO

A case study in how to take a valuable piece of intellectual property and run it into the ground.

How so? 25 million watches the first 24 hours seems pretty good

Conservatives: I bet if we send immigrants to Martha's Vineyard they would hate it. I wouldn't want brown people in my town.

Libs: Let's make accomodations and make sure they're fed and taken care of. That's the role of the church isn't it?

Conservatives: LA LA LA I CAN'T HEAR YOU I CAN'T HEAR YOU YOU HATE THIS DIVERSITY SUCKS DOESN'T IT

Literally the level of Republican thought

Too early to tell, Amazon is obviously heavily invested in its success, given the price-tag, and they've delayed some of their other product offerings (e.g. Wheel of Time) in an effort to concentrate eyeballs on Rings of Power. They're banking on casual fans taking over and becoming regular watchers, but it's hard to do that without good writing, and the writers in all of these "made of TV" fantasy epics are terrible (see : GOT season 7-8).

The challenge is that they've already squandered any goodwill from fans of the underlying work. Galadriel's a very important character. She's one of the most powerful beings in the actual story. There's no need to turn her into a warring elf princess, aside from the fact that the writers are so unoriginal that they can't imagine a powerful female character that isn't climbing mountains or swinging a sword. You can do the same sort of analysis with Elrond. There's a broader trend among recent adaptions that fundamentally misunderstand the world in Tolkien's work (i.e. Anglo-Saxon), and try to turn it into something it's not. I have no idea how the Hobbit played at the box office, but I watched the first and was so thoroughly disgusted that I swore off the rest.
